Introducing John Karlsson, new designer at Pingdom

Today we’re very excited to welcome the latest addition to the Pingdom team, John Karlsson. He joins Pingdom as a designer, and he will put his experience and talents, focused on digital design, into working on Pingdom’s products and other projects.

John comes from Valskog, a city not that far from the Pingdom HQ in Västerås, Sweden. Design was always in his blood, and he used to draw something all the time, on paper or on whatever else he could lay his hands on.

Digital design entered John’s life in his early teens in the form of Photoshop, probably version 7, and he’s not looked back since. The web quickly became a natural focus for John’s design work and that carries through to today.

After studying design in high school, followed by digital media at university, 8 months working with a production agency in New York, and working with mobile applications, he has now joined Pingdom.
